No, it checks if something already known to be a "swap entry" type is actually
describing a swap entry, or a non-swap entry (e.g. migration entry, hwpoison
entry, etc.) Swap entries with type >= MAX_SWAPFILES don't actually describe swap:
static inline int non_swap_entry(swp_entry_t entry)
{
return swp_type(entry) >= MAX_SWAPFILES;
}
So you need to do something like:
pte = ptep_get_lockless(pte);
if (pte_none(pte) || !pte_present(pte))
return false;
entry = pte_to_swp_entry(pte);
if (non_swap_entry(entry))
return false;

Yes indeed. It's not always clear-cut what the best thing to do is. It would be
good to hear from others on this.
